Litteraly the best lessons in RUclips. Thank you for sharing your gift!
Love your comprehensive teaching style and your relaxed manner. You make everything so understandable and achievable.
Great Lesson, Tim! This lesson helps me see how the scales relate to the chords and how to utilize them in playing a piece. I think it might be interesting to take each scale and break it down into the patterns of chords. I must take a look at the other videos you have suggested. Again, great video!
You have a wonderful way of explaining things, Tim. Thank you for these lessons. ❤
This is genuinely one of the most helpful videos I have watched about playing and understanding music, you really explained it very well
Great class Tim, it opens up a understanding of how music is build with chords
Amazing lesson. I loved the simple concept you use to teach scales and how to figure them out by sight.
Thank you for sharing this information Tim ! I have been playing guitar off and on for a few decades, every once in awhile I would find sheet music for song I wished to play , without chords , I once was lost , now I at least have a solid idea where to start the next time I come across this phenaminon !
WOAH. Thank you! I've tried to understand this for years! Finally did!
The sharp closest to the right > up a semitone = major scale.
The second flat to the right = major scale.
Whatever the result is > down a tone and a half = minor scale.
And also about the scales. How every scale the chords will be maj, min, min, maj, maj, min, dim, maj.
And the 1st, 4th and 4th primary chords of the scale
Thank you so much I never knew about this before but I'm so thankful I know now!
Me either
You know, I’ve been waiting for a video like this for a long time! Thanks Tim you’ve actually kickstarted my interest in music theory, brilliant.. thanks so much. Here have my subscription..
This taught me what I wasn't understanding before. I now know how to find the chords to the melodies the universe gives me. :-) Thanks!
This is just what I’ve been looking for! So easy to understand and follow. Thank you!
Great Lesson! Very clear, specially by the end. Thank you for your time and dedication helping so many people.
That video was jam packed. Thank you!
I had no idea there was a set method for working this out. Thank you. No more guessing.
Thanks for the great lessons. Although I am a guitar player I am learning a lot about music theory , rhythm , etc. from your videos.
Superb video, you did a great job teaching the basic theory in a way everybody can understand and use.
Thank you and also I like your blue lighting in the cubes: )
Clear and concise lesson, I learnt something who was one of my questions for long time...Thank you.
Good stuff Tim. Nice and clear!
Thanks Tim, I was looking for that for so long, I know my scales, chords, and reed 2 lines music pretty well, but never be able to put it together.
Wow I learned a lot in this video. Thanks.
Thanks Tim! I had come up with a melody for a song. I played with C# major because it was the first note but I was undecided. I now realise I have 4 sharps so I will go and check what key that could be.
I have to say I watched your video first then I watched 3 others. They all said they were going to find chords to a melody but when I got there they ALL said we were in the key of C and they were just finding the chords to the key of C from the melody notes. Not quite the same thing. So thankyou very much for teaching what you actually said you were going to teach us.
This video is a really good explanation! Thanks.
Great lesson, learned SO MUCH
I play guitar for about 13 years now, and really overlook theory. I learned most by ears and tabs for reminding. Now I want to start with piano, with little basic knowledge. Your guide here is phenomenal. Especially how you combine practic with sheets 👍🏻👍🏻. Like & sub from my side.
Great lesson, especially if already familiar with the Roman numeral system. Very applicable to guitar as well. Thank you.
this lesson is what I seek for a long long time! thanks your sharing!
Excellent. Very well done. Thanks a lot.
Thank you so much, buddy! It‘s the best video ever!!!! Many blessings from Germany and merry Christmas!
Fantastic tutorial, Tim.
Great Lesson!!! Thank you
Brilliant! Great info here. You have a new Sub!
So helpful-thank you!
A MAYZing!!!!!!......this is soooooo helpful.....thank you much for sharing
Excellent lesson!
This lesson is awesome!
Good tios! .... 😊well explained...
Figuring out the key......genius🥳
Thanks a lot for this Video
Brilliant thanks
Many thanks
Thank , you are very good
THE MAGIC MAN OF THE NOTES VERY GOOD.
Omg thanks for teaching on how to find the key.
Thanks
You meant to say we are in the key of C Major, but you accidentally said C#.
Great review and a very professional lesson.
It is so much easier if you learn all the minor keys first and then look at the second note in the minor chord (1st inversion) and make it major. For example, if I am in the key of Dm and a Dm chord is DFA, then I look at the second note in the chord and realize that the equivalent is F major.
Tq bro
As a guitarist(mainly) I was like why is he referring to those scales only as majors? Minors man,minors hahahaha nice lesson!
Making alot more sense
How do you determine the "down beat" or the "dominate" note in order to know which note to play the chord on?
I like you better than my last piano teacher. She charged me $70 a month. :-) Thank you.
Omg this is very helpful tho
Nice tutorial can I learn from you online
Why not dur and moll? If one uses Major and minor as keys, what do one call i.e. the chord Fmaj7?
You look like Kendell Roy from the HBO series "Succession" ❤️
Great video can anyone explain what it means when they use this for chords g/c or d/f etc.
9 months later, but maybe still useful: The first letter is the chord that is being played, and the second the bass note below that chord. So C/G (C over G) is a C chord with a G in the bass.
One full step up from D sharp is F, not E. Can you clarify at about 5:50? Thanks.
What program are u using for the staff, notes, etc?
At 16:14 time on video -- you say ‘ Are we in the key of C sharp or a minor?’ It should be in the key of C Majoror a minor
Sir, I'm from india. How do i play "twinkle twinkle little star" using arpeggio chords ? Thanks.
Tim, at 16.20 you said the key is c sharp or A minor. Why is it a c sharp and not just c ? Thanks
at around 7'10 you said a couple times that that chord in the notation is E major, but E, G and B make E minor, don't they? I got really confused. Or you were ignoring that there was no signaling to indicate that the F# / Gb from the actual E major chord?
great lesson, Thanks!
that is genius
in minute 16:16 you said twinkle was in c sharp instead of saying c major... im listenning :D
Very very useful. 👍
Tim Great info............Mark
And it dawned on me that the Circle of Fifths is extremely usable here.
So why does our western music start at A and end at G? Why not A to K or any other letter thst is not G?
I saw something that said this melody was written by Mozart. Is that true?
It seems like once the melody is available,chords are.easier to add. How does one then come up with the melody? Where do melodies come from?
Mine come from the words
14:37
12:32 In Germany we always start with C so for me starting with A is much more difficult haha...
I do not understand, very confusing, can you break this up?
And if not it may not be, but then it could.
I have no idea what major and minor is
I'm up to about the 5 minute point then it gets too complicated after that.
Did you go back and try it again recently
@@deadmanswife3625 No. I think my mental capabilities are fading at my advanced age.
@@basspig 😟
Lol so much crap has clicked within my head.brilliant lessons mate.it works with guitar also.thank you again
ok i'm starting to get a little just the chords
What app is this?
Staffpad
Thank you, it's hard to find tutorials same good as yours tutorials. I appreciate your work! Keep up!
4:55 I find it's easier to read the note written, like C#, and go a half step up.
Okay, hands down, being able to eyeball the key by looking at the sharps is just gold...
Dude is it one whole step up or "one note?"
This must be a basic of basic topic cause the advanced chord placement doesn't work this way you can't just place the first note as a chord for every measure, it doesn't always work that way.
Wow. I think the most people won´t play just chords in the left hand. They want to play more complex moving chords and if you do that the chords themselves are completely changing... And just to say "Its often just 1, 4 and 5" is not good too... ist really variating. Also the most people dont want to play one single chord several cycles in a row so thats stupid too... (in this case the f chord)
As a non-english speaker, I find the terms sharp and flats confusing. Why tou call A sharp, I call Aiss and A flat, I call Ass.
Follow the circle of fifths. It will be easy
This title is misleading. I thought you were gonna talk about creating chords to melodies you create. Not whatever this is.
I'm sorry but this is so simplistic that it renders the lesson completely useless.
Thanks
